Okorocha: Araraume, Ohakim, Uzodinma, Ihedioha Have no Programme

The verbal fight between the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, and his other political rivals escalated yesterday as the governor declared that governorship candidates of APGA, Ifeanyi Araraume; Accord, Ikedi Ohakim; APC, Hope Uzodinma, and PDP, Emeka Ihedioha, have no political programmes for the state.

He also restated the claim that his administration does not owe any bank either in and outside the country, and that he stands to be challenged by any bank or individual on this claim.

The governor challenged Uzodinma, Ihedioha, Ohakim and Araraume who have been accused by his administration of owing banks billions of naira to make their facts public or close their mouths forever.

Okorocha stated this while interacting with journalists in the state yesterday at the Government House in Owerri, stating that Araraume, Ohakim, Uzodinma and Ihedioha have no programme for the state.

According to him, that is why instead of telling the Imo people about their programmes for them if elected governor, they are busy talking about him and the billions they claimed he owes banks.

“I know why they are making this debt allegation. It is because of the amazing achievements of this administration. They could not believe that a state government could build six universities, three polytechnics, two Colleges of Education; runs free and qualitative education and has more than one thousand verifiable projects to its credit without borrowing from banks. That is what prompted their story of me owing billions of naira. But my government does not owe any bank.”
